Impacts of changing climate and agronomic factors on fusarium ear blight of wheat in the UK
(2012-02)
Climate change will have direct impacts on fusarium ear blight (FEB) in wheat crops, since weather factors greatly affect epidemics, the relative proportions of species of ear blight pathogens responsible and the production ...
Quantitative PCR analysis of abundance of airborne propagules of Leptosphaeria species in air samples from different regions of Poland
(2012)
When airborne propagules of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa were collected in Poland at three ecologically different sites from 1 September to 30 November in 2004 to 2008, using a Hirst-type seven-day volumetric ...
A comparision of GHG emissions from UK field crop production under selected arable systems with reference to disease control
(2012)
Crop disease not only threatens global food security by reducing crop production at a time of growing demand, but also contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reducing efficiency of N fertiliser use and farm ...
Genetic basis of control of Rhynchosporium secalis infection and symptom expression in barley
(2012)
The genetic basis of several different components of resistance to Rhynchosporium secalis in barley was investigated in a mapping population derived from a cross between winter and spring barley types. Both the severity ...
Effects of disease control by fungicides on greenhouse gas emissions by UK arable crop production
(2011-09)
Background: The UK government has published plans to reduce UK agriculture's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the goal of global food security requires an increase in arable crop yields. Foliar disease ...
Effects of fungicide on growth of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa in relation to development of phoma stem canker on oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(2011-08)
Controlled-environment and field experiments were done to investigate effects of the fungicide Punch C (flusilazole plus carbendazim) on growth of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa in oilseed rape. In controlled-environment ...
